I think the proof of sex change they mention is allowing a skull cap as proof of sex instead of the whole head. This is for CWD stuff, allowing the brain/spinal matter to remain at the property where the animal was killed.
Edit:
Looks like they will now allow does to use sex organs as proof of sex.
The proposed amendment to §65.10 would also alter provisions governing proof of sex. The movement, and ultimately, the improper disposal of carcasses and carcass parts, particularly skulls, brains, and spinal cords, increases the risk of spreading CWD. Under current rule, proof-of-sex for deer is the head of the deer, which must accompany the carcass until a final destination is reached. The proposed new rule would provide an alternative to the current rules regarding proof of sex for female deer by allowing certain gender-related anatomical parts to accompany the carcass in lieu of the head. This would provide hunters an option to leave the head of a female deer at the site of harvest to reduce risk for the potential spread of CWD from that site.
